In this senior technical position, you will be responsible for provisioning, configuring, and optimizing network security rules across both on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Acting as a core security delivery expert, you will ensure a timely response to business application deployments via precision policy adjustments, implementations, and continuous risk assessments. This role demands an advanced understanding of enterprise-scale firewall management, micro-segmentation, and policy orchestration to safeguard the organization's global security footprint while maintaining a strong compliance, risk, and control mindset.
Duration: 1-Year Contract
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (37.5 hours/week)
Work Arrangement: Hybrid (2 days per week on-site at the corporate office, 3 days remote)
Advantages
Tier-1 Financial Strategic Scale: Own and execute high-visibility network security policies protecting critical banking assets and high-volume application footprints.
Modern Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure: Gain deep exposure designing and deploying complex rule sets across both massive physical data centers and state-of-the-art cloud ecosystems.
Automation-First Operations: Leverage advanced policy orchestration tools (such as Tufin) to streamline provisioning, eliminate security friction, and boost delivery velocity.
Long-Term Strategic Impact: Establish a baseline partnership within a mature enterprise security organization, offering a stable 12-month canvas with potential for ongoing extension.
Responsibilities
Firewall Design, Rule Provisioning & Lifecycle Delivery
Security Rule Provisioning: Lead the end-to-end delivery of enterprise firewall solutions across physical and cloud-based platforms, aligning with global security architecture and network standard operating procedures.
Policy Adaptation & Onboarding: Develop, assess, and implement security-driven firewall rules to support immediate business application deployments, system enhancements, and new asset onboarding.
Micro-Segmentation Engineering: Partner with application teams and asset owners to map, design, and isolate critical infrastructure components using network virtualization tools like Palo Alto, Guardicore, and Netskope.
Governance, Stakeholder Integration & Operational Excellence
Risk & Control Compliance: Ensure all rule implementations strictly comply with internal corporate security standards, financial regulatory obligations, and audit expectations.
Change Governance Enforcement: Drive disciplined change management practices using ServiceNow, ensuring all customized security policies are peer-reviewed, documented, and production-ready in alignment with ITIL frameworks.
Tier 3 / Tier 4 Incident Triage: Provide senior-level support and technical consultation for complex network security issues, diagnosing execution bottlenecks, and executing root-cause fixes to avoid business service disruption.
Stakeholder Alignment: Collaborate closely with distributed network engineering, infrastructure operations, and technical leads to translate functional business rules into secure, bulletproof firewall configurations.
Qualifications
Experience: Minimum 5+ years of progressive professional experience specializing in enterprise firewall technologies, network security administration, or technical infrastructure protection.
Firewall Engineering Toolset: Direct, hands-on experience designing, provisioning, and optimizing network security rules leveraging Palo Alto Firewalls (with Panorama management), Guardicore, and/or Netskope.
Policy Orchestration & Automation: Working knowledge or referenceable production experience using centralized firewall policy management and automation utilities, specifically Tufin.
Operational Framework Fluency: Solid working experience navigating structured corporate environments using ServiceNow under ITIL V3 (or newer) change management and service operation protocols.
Hybrid Networking Acuity: Practical understanding of how disparate infrastructure elements (switches, cloud endpoints, microservices, and perimeter guards) mesh safely within a hybrid enterprise landscape.
Soft Skills: Exceptional troubleshooting, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Highly developed written and verbal communication skills appropriate for an advisory role, with a proven ability to influence positive technical outcomes and explain risk transparently to delivery partners.
Nice-to-Have Skills & Assets
Prior professional security engineering experience operating within a Banking, Financial Services, or similar heavily regulated, large enterprise environment.
Core knowledge or implementation exposure related to Cisco routing protocols, Akamai delivery platforms, Shape (F5) systems, or Zero Trust model validation.
Summary
If you are a tech-savvy Security Specialist IV who pairs an absolute command of Palo Alto and Guardicore firewalls with the automated policy orchestration skills (Tufin) required to accelerate application onboarding, this 1-year hybrid contract offers an exceptional career platform. Bring your rule-provisioning precision, troubleshooting mastery, and collaborative communication style to our industry-defining technology risk group today!
